There are times and circumstances that the All Mighty God uses others to correct us from a straying path. When ancient Israel decided to submit to a false sovereign (Little g gods), YHWY punished and corrected them for not recognizing their King of Kings. Then God sent the Babylonians to be His hammer. Why is this awesome? Because we can see that out societies have left the Sovereign God All Mighty and have gone astray after false gods, including our own selves. The trouble that surrounds us is for our correction and punishment.
Habakkuk 1:6-12 (KJV) For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation,
which shall march through the breadth of the land,
to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful:
their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards,
and are more fierce than the evening wolves:
and their horsemen shall spread themselves,
and their horsemen shall come from far;
they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence:
their faces shall sup up as the east wind,
and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings,
and the princes shall be a scorn unto them:
they shall deride every strong hold;
for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend,
imputing this his power unto his god.
12 Art thou not from everlasting,
O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die.
O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment;
and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
